News: Drink water. Wait, no, nevermind.
For years, the media and health organizations have been pushing the “drink lots of water” agenda.
But before you top off your glass, read this.
…Frogs, salamanders and other amphibians began to sprout extra legs. In heavily polluted Lake Apopka, one of the largest lakes in Florida, male alligators developed stunted genitals.
…Now scientists are connecting the dots with evidence of increasing abnormalities among humans, particularly large increases in numbers of genital deformities among newborn boys.
I live about 20 miles from Lake Apopka… The next time my mom brings up grandchildren, I’m quoting this article.
Thanks to Steven Colbert (The Colbert Report) for raising awareness of this trend.
Many water filters, such as the Culligan Aqua-Cleer, actually remove the endocrine disruptors from your drinking water – so water is still just as good for as ever, but you have to pay for the filtration yourself now since you can’t trust the govt. to do it apparently.
